Actually, grendel, I can see where you’re coming from, I think. I used to work with a fellow who freely admitted he was a right-wing, gun-toting, liberal-hating conservative. He and I liked to talk politics, and did so with the understanding that it was a friendly argument. I can’t tell you how many times he said, “If you think that, then you’re not a true liberal.” I’m not, as it happens, but I was amused at how narrowly he painted the terms.
